Hiring a senior AI engineer directly is slow and expensive. Months of searching, a recruiter’s fee, and competition for anyone who has shipped AI to production. If you need senior AI capacity now, inside your team and on your roadmap, this is the service for that.
What you get
Senior AI engineers who join your standup, work in your repositories and ship inside your product. Not a vendor you throw tickets to over a wall. The skills cover the full surface we build with every day: LLM applications and retrieval, agents, computer vision, model evaluation, and the MLOps that keeps it all running.
When embedded engineers beat a project
A fixed-scope custom AI project is right when the goal is a defined system with a clear end state. Embedded engineers are right when the work is continuous: an AI roadmap with many medium-sized items, an existing AI feature that needs a senior owner, or a team with strong product engineers but no AI depth. If you are unsure which you need, in-house team versus agency lays out the decision without a sales pitch.
Why not just hire?
You probably should, eventually. But the median search for a senior AI engineer takes months, costs a recruiting fee on top of a top-of-market salary, and carries the risk every hire does. Embedding us gets you senior output while you search. It also shows you what the work really is, so you hire for the right role. When your person arrives, we hand over cleanly, with documentation, tests and runbooks. We have helped clients write the job spec for our own replacement. That is the arrangement working as intended.
How it works
A scoping call. What does your roadmap need: building, hardening, or speeding up? We say so if the answer is a project rather than a person, or if you do not need us at all.
A fast start. The right engineer joins your codebase and your rituals within a week or two. A useful pull request in the first week is normal.
A monthly rhythm. You set the priorities. We bring the expertise and the written-down habits, meaning decision documents, tests and runbooks, that make the work stick. Scale up, down or off month by month.
